To get to the point: Except for minor acpi issues I can live with, everything works and runs well, with the exception of the build-in wifi card. It's being detected and can be used, yet moved about 4 metres away from the router signal disappears. It appears as if some gain settings for the hardware have not been set correctly. When laptop is placed just next to router the signal is measured to 70%, which is -54 dB; when moving away from the router the signal gradually drops and is lost at about -95 dB. The same laptop using the linux driver rt2x00 (which works perfectly) shows -20 dBm just next to the router and -70dBm, where FreeBSD is losing connection (same numbers using wifi usb-dongle with OpenBSD from same laptop). The wifi chipset is RaLink RT61PCI (old name) aka RT2561s which is supposed to be supported by the ral driver. The behavior of the ral driver on this laptop is the same for PCBSD 9, OpenBSD 5.1 and DragonFlyBSD 3.1, so it doesn't come across as OS-dependent issue My assumption now is that this could be caused by gain settings in the driver. I have been trying to compare the source code for the linux rt2x00 driver and the ral driver, but nothing really seems obvious to me as relating to gain settings; I was hoping I could tweak and re-compile the ral driver, to make it work as good as the linux driver and have well-functioning BSD laptop. So finally my question: Is my assumption above likely to be correct, that this is a driver related issue? In this case I hope someone would have some tips to fix this, or at least point me to antenna/gain settings in the ral-driver source code. Thanking in advance, Jakob
